Dr Lucy Worsley

An illustrated tour through the dark story of our fascination with murder

 

Wyvern Theatre, Swindon

Tuesday 30 June 2015, 7.30pm

 

BBC TV presenter, renowned historian and Chief Curator at the charity Historic Royal Palaces, Dr Lucy Worsley will examine some notorious crimes and criminals, but also explain how murder became a form of middle-class entertainment through novels, plays, paintings, and the press.

 

Starting with a horrific early nineteenth-century serial-killer in the East End of London, she’ll end with the tame drawing room dramas of Agatha Christie.
